Caveat: here's a very a speculative prediction with very little data to back it up.
After the break oil failed to push above the level that set the very bottom of the bullish bat—ie, the level after which it previously edged up before falling off a cliff.
We could be headed back toward the longterm trend line tomorrow or next week. Conversely, I'd consider a strong push above the current level to be very bullish, possibly to $30., A reversal and subsequent bounce off the trend would also be bullish but less so. And I still believe we will see another elevator down as we near settlement date of the June contract.
